3. Bee Movie

If you'd told anyone in 2007 that the most meme-able movie of the year would be Jerry Seinfeld's ecology anxiety comedy Bee Movie, they would have laughed you out of Starbucks. But thanks mostly to Tumblr and the deliciously odd habit of YouTubers to obsess over the film to almost fetishistic levels, it has enjoyed a second life in the most unexpected way.

Such is this odd fascination with the movie - which is far more odd than it is great (its central, confusing romantic plot is straight out of a Kafka novel) - that you'd think it had literally just come out in cinemas. Which will probably still be the case in another 10 years when whatever social media dominates then will still be obsessively posting Barry B Benson memes.
